: Hi,

: I'm looking for a 3-axis mill or cnc with the following characteristics
: 	stiff - can cut aluminum easily and maybe steel.
: 	precision - 0.001" or better
: 	small workspace - maybe 9x6x4 inches
: 	hopefully cheap - because of small workspace

Mark, I suggest you subscribe to rec.crafts.metalworking.
Those folks will probably recommend a Sherline mill retrofitted with a CNC
package from any one of several vendors.  
Good luck!
